Sounds like good TV:

...Pariah came through first by recruiting Jefferson Pierce aka Jefferson Pierce (Cress Williams), who managed to use his own currents to hold off the machine while the Flashes figured out a way to reverse engineer the anti-matter machine. It turned out they needed to essentially run backwards on the treadmill as quickly as possible, but when Barry volunteered for the task Earth-90’s Flash temporarily stole his powers instead and hopped on. As he ran out the matter the show inserted a flashback to the 1990 series “The Flash,” (yet another Easter egg) and with that, Earth-90 Flash was toast, too. His sacrifice ended the anti-matter in the nick of time; Earth-1, a.k.a. the last Earth standing was about to be blown up too....

Jefferson Pierce aka Jefferson Pierce

secret identity needs some work imo

I'm sure it was a kick for Marv Wolfman to have a comic he did get turned into a TV show and get to work on an episode either way.

Although I think like Gerry Conway, Len Wein and Howard Chaykin, I think he did do a bit of Tv writing at some point.

yes, like various of his era (Gerber may have been first?), he wrote a bit for American Saturday morning cartoons in the 1980s and 90s

pretty sure he's no longer startled to have comics he did get turned into TV or movies by now though :)

Watched the first three last night. Minor criticisms (Paragon scanner? Tom Cavanagh's whisper delivery) pushed aside by the fun of seeing previous DC show cast members integrated into the many Earths (earlier Flash, Birds of Prey, Smallville), plus some cast playing multiple roles. I thought that was a changed John Glover as dark Bruce Wayne, but checking, Kevin Conroy - nice fan service there. Not too bad.
